Job titles / roles

At some point, I will write a little here on the kinds of jobs
that can offer relevant experience. Suffice it to say for now that
the most useful posts are probably entitled 'assistant
psychologist'. But they are by no means the only useful
jobs, and sometimes they don't much help you develop as a
psychologist.

Websites

Here are some useful websites that are worth searching:

jobs.ac.uk - vacancies in
further and higher education (therefore particularly useful for
university research posts)

vacancies.ac.uk -
similar coverage to jobs.ac.uk, but is free to list shorter
contracts

Newspapers

National papers can also be a good source, but remember that
there will be more competition for these posts (not that that's a
reason not to apply!)

Of course, the nationals have their own websites which will list
these vacancies too - quicker to search (and probably cheaper) than
the 'dead tree' versions.

It can still be useful to browse (for example) the vacancies in
the 'Education' and 'Society' supplements of The Guardian, published on a
Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. These can give you an idea of
the kind of posts out there, as well as containing interesting
articles related to health, welfare, schools - even the occasional
bit of psychology!
